Poppy Ride war memorial

This is a steady ride, approximately 9 miles along quieter roads, to St John’s Road,Boxmoor. We will ride at the pace that is best suited to everyone in the group, usually between 8-10 mph. There will be a few hills where we will of course wait at the top for the group to catch up. As leaders we will ensure that no one is left behind, so that all the group can have an enjoyable ride. We will be visiting the War Memorial in St John’s Road Boxmoor. Here we may stay to take part in the poppy wreath laying service, if all riders would like to. Please feel free to add poppies to yourselves/bikes.
First Timers and electric assisted bikes are welcome on this ride

Please remember to bring,
Two spare innertubes for your bike, even if you do not know how to change them, someone in the group will, as well as the appropriate tools (tyre levers and a spanner for your wheels if you do not have quick release.)
A water bottle with a drink in, riding can be very thirsty work.
Cycle helmet, for your own safety.
Appropriate clothing for the weather
As we will be riding on the road please consider adding lights to your bike and wearing high vis clothing to assist other road users to see you.


Now for the Covid bit…..
Although Covid restrictions have been lifted we are asking all riders to be respectful to other riders, and not to ride if you are not feeling well.
All of the above is to keep us all safe from illness.
